RCIA

The RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is a program of induction into the Catholic Church through the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. But, more than that, it is a faith journey designed to meet our fundamental spiritual needs as God’s children and help us identity with and become a part of a faith community. The ultimate RCIA goal, to be Eucharist for the world, carries out Vatican II’s vision of what the Church is today: the manifestation of Christ’s presence and grace at work in the world.

If you are interested in becoming Catholic and deepening your personal relationship with Jesus Christ, if you are seeking to learn about Catholicism as the result of an interfaith marriage or other relationship, have not fully completed the sacraments of initiation, or simply wonder what the journey entails please contact Janet Young in the Faith Formation Office at 410-879-4015 or via email at janet_stmarys@yahoo.com .
